Cowboys News: Best yet to come for Amari, DiNucci report, what no preseason means

A look around the Cowboys’ landscape as the NFL demands face masks for fans and cancels the chance for unheralded players to make a mark.

Coming on the heels of the NFL cancelling the entire preseason, the league has deemed fans will be required to wear some sort of face mask before they are allowed into each stadium. This is assuming that there will even be fans at the games, and that certainly could change. This unique offseason presents new barriers for almost every team in the league, however, teams like the Dallas Cowboys, with a stable of new coaches and players, will face extra challenges as the season gets off to a quick start.

Despite the extraordinary circumstances the Cowboys currently face, they’ll still have to suit up and perform every Sunday. The offense is mostly set, aside from the backup wide receivers, and the intriguing position battles that will take place at left guard and center. We know Amari Cooper is great, but could more weapons and another year in the system allow him to get even better? Two new, big-name, defensive tackles should improve the other side of the ball, but how much impact will the additions make? Plus, a list of under-the-radar remains free agents that Dallas could potentially sign.
